country, rests one like q pleasant dream.
When let my heart go over it again

alluring warmth than the oily ebon Inca
ments of Uncle Job. |
Captain Wheaton, whose fat acres covered
wide space of highland and rolled down
into Skinner's valley had brought the hale
old African with him from the war The
Wheaton place lay with it's long and un-
dulating side against my mothers farm
and with the dusk of the first evening after
their coming we heard the old man a mile
away at Wheaton's barns sending up an
African warble. Mellow and plaintive, like
the soft winding of far away horn, but
strange and half uncanny to us Northern
children, it melted across the fields through
the evening stiffness. That night L had a
dream l remember, with which that mellow
singing somehow mingled, and the next
morning being sent to the farther side Of
the big fleld'' with u rusty axe to "sprout"
along the division fence, l saw, with some
trepidation, the ebon singer himself perched
upon the top rail OF that vine-wound barrier
smiling down upon me.
"Mawnin', honey" he said in tone that
was wonderfully engaging, "mighty peart
lam in desc pawts!"
After that we were always friends, and
the bluebirds and the criclsets listened with
me to many a song and story through that
dreamy summer as Uncle Job sat upon the
crowning rail with his thin shanks hanging
down among the blossoms.
